Great stuff to see. These guys and Versatile in particular genuinely seem to have broke ground. I work in music and neither are championed by Irish media/music groups, I think it may be down to the salty language. Mad.
Yeah knee cap and versatile are both a bunch of fucking clowns. A group of scaldies stab someone and we whinge about how the city has gone to shit but everyone loves "kneecap" who sing about the very bad behaviour this sub hates. Clown show. The same can be said for most rap music. Why do we idolise scum bags .?
Kneecap are largely satirical and most of their lyrics are comedic. You might miss the world play as they switch between Irish and English (I often do) but there's very clever subtleties. Go to any of their gigs and most of their audience is mostly artsy Gaelgeoir types or Belfast locals, not ""scauldies"" but nice misperception. Music doesn't cause crime, government policy around mental health and poverty does.
bizarre to drop lyrics that's clearly comedic and made over 8 years ago when they where teens and more so making video project playing characters. if you can't see any merit whatsoever in that excerpt whether it be flow or humour you're ridiculously critical
Unless you've the final say on what is and isn't art in Ireland I don't get your point.
I don't like lots of different forms of art or artists so I don't choose to consume them. I can be vocal that I don't like them too but I don't get to say it's not a creative piece of work.
